DNP 805 Topic 6 Assignment Telehealth

Details:

Telehealth encompasses a wide range of basic to complex health care delivery options, with an equally expansive array of technologies that may be employed. For this assignment, you will locate a scholarly article published within the last 3 years in a peer-reviewed journal on telehealth. This assignment consists of two parts; Part One requires you to develop and present a two-paragraph assessment comprising a précis and critical evaluation of a scholarly article focusing on a telehealth technology, and the second part requires you to construct a Mind Map to generate ideas about how the telehealth technology you identified can be used in your current practice.

General Guidelines:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.

You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

Directions:

PART I: Précis and Critical Evaluation.

Donald Davidson, in his book, American Composition and Rhetoric, discusses the précis as follows:

“A précis is not an outline, but a summary or digest. It is useful as an exercise in grasping the essential ideas of an already completed composition and in stating these ideas in concentrated form. The précis shears away all elaborations of the thought and gives only what is left, in such a way as to make the summary a complete composition. It does not, therefore, skeletonize the original composition so much as it reduces its scale. Many of the articles in The Reader’s Digest are only précis, so skillfully done that the average reader does not know that he is reading a summary. Since the précis says a great deal within a brief space, it is of great service in taking notes on library assignments and general reading.”

The précis should be an organization of ideas, include logical sequencing of points, contain clear and meaningful expression, and use language suitable to the situation. When finished, the précis should clearly state:

A statement of what was studied (i.e., argued, discussed, deliberated).

A statement of focus of the scholarly article you selected, (i.e., how it was organized and completed).

A statement of what information was identified or learned from the scholarly article.

A statement of why the information in the article is important to your field of study.

PART II: Mind Map.

Brainstorm to generate ideas about how the telehealth technology you identified can be used in your current practice using a mind map. Submit the final map along with the précis to the Topic drop box.

How to do it:

Take a sheet(s) of paper and write an identifiable main idea in the center of the page, using a one-three words. (You may also achieve this via an electronic sheet of “paper”).

Draw a branch off your main idea; on the branch write or draw a main topic related to your main idea.

Continue to branch off from your main idea with main topics as needed.

Assignment:Clinical Practice DNP 805

From your main topics, branch off with subtopics.

From your subtopics, branch off with supporting details (write and/or draw). Continue to add more details. You are free to add more topics, subtopics, or any other items.

When you stand back and survey your work, you should see a map: hence the name for this activity. At this point you can start to form conclusions about how to approach a potential area of practice change. At the end of the day, what you do with the particular “map” or “cluster set” or “web” that you produce depends on what you need.

Submit both the précis and the final mind map in fulfillment of this assignment.

Your paper must be proofread.
However, do not rely solely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part, and your grade will suffer as a result.
Papers with a high number of misspelled words and grammatical errors will be penalized.
Before handing in your paper, go over it in silence and then aloud, making any necessary corrections.
It is often beneficial to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors.
Uncorrected mistakes are preferable to handwritten corrections.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point typeface (10 to 12 characters per inch).
Smaller or compressed type, as well as papers with narrow margins or single spacing, are difficult to read.
It is preferable to allow your essay to exceed the recommended number of pages rather than attempting to compress it into fewer pages.

Large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are also unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be formatted neatly, double-spaced, and with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page.
When submitting hard copies, make sure to use white paper and dark ink.
It will be difficult to follow your argument if it is difficult to read your essay.

CLASSROOM ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

Questions for Discussion (DQ)

Initial DQ responses should address all aspects of the questions posed, include at least one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words long.

Successful responses are substantive (i.e., they add something new to the discussion, they engage others in the discussion, they have a well-developed idea), and they include at least one scholarly source.

Responses of one or two sentences, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and off-topic responses will not be considered substantive.
Substantive responses must be at least 150 words in length.

I encourage you to incorporate the week’s readings (if applicable) into your responses.

Participation every week

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ are graded separately and do not count toward participation.

Along with the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.

A scholarly source/citation is not required for participation posts (unless you cite someone else’s work).

Viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments is part of your weekly participation.
These announcements are made to ensure that you are aware of everything that is due this week.

The APA Format and the Writing Quality

Learn how to use APA format and practice using it correctly.
It is used for the majority of your degree’s writing assignments.
For APA paper templates, citation examples, and tips, go to the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, which can be found under the Resources tab in LoudCloud.
Points will be deducted if the APA format is not used correctly or if the APA format is not used at all (if required).

Cite all information sources!
Cite the source whenever possible.
A citation is also required when paraphrasing.

I strongly advise you to use the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.

Utilization of Direct Quotes

At the Masters’ level, I discourage the use of direct quotes in DQs and assignments and deduct points accordingly.

As Masters’ level students, you must be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other sources.
Simply repeating someone else’s words does not demonstrate comprehension or critical analysis of the content.

It is preferable to paraphrase and cite your sources.

Policy LopesWrite

Please make sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me for assignments that must be submitted to LopesWrite.

Please review your report once you have received it.
This report will highlight grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that are simple to correct.
Instead of being counted off for these errors, spend a few extra minutes reviewing.

Examine your similarities.
Did you forget to include a citation?
Did you not paraphrase correctly?
Is your paper dominated by someone else’s ideas rather than your own?

Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, which can be found under the Resources tab in LoudCloud, for advice on how to improve your paper and SI score.

Policy on Arrival Late

The university’s late assignment policy is a 10% penalty PER DAY LATE.
This also holds true for late DQ responses.

If you anticipate having to submit an assignment late, please contact me.
With advance notice, I am happy to be flexible.
Due to extenuating circumstances, we may be able to work out an extension.

If you do not contact me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will apply.

Unless we have worked out an extension, I will not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late.

No assignments are accepted after the last day of class, per policy.
Any assignment submitted after midnight on the final day of class will not be graded.

Communication

The importance of communication cannot be overstated.
You can contact me in a variety of ways, including:

Questions to the Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask questions about course content or assignments.
If you have a question, chances are that one of your colleagues does as well.
This is the class’s public forum.

Individual Forum: This is a private forum where you can ask me questions or leave messages for me.
At least once every 24 hours, this will be checked.
